Our next gathering of Nora’s Salon South is on August 29th!

Our next gathering of Nora’s Salon South in Montgomery, Alabama is August 29th! We hope you’ll join us for a glass of wine, friendly conversation, and informal readings of two one-act plays: Uncovered by Laura King and She Started With a Beetle by friend of Nora’s Martha Pichey (Ashes & Ink).

Nora’s Salon South:
Uncovered + She Started with a Beetle
Tuesday, August 29th at 7pm
in Cloverdale, Montgomery, AL

Uncovered by Laura King

At their monthly book club meetings, a group of women come together to share their connections with classic literature. As the women share their favorite books, they begin to see what they have not only lost but also found during their lifetimes. But most of all, they learn that the strength and spirit of a community of women can lift you up when you are closest to the ground.

She Started With a Beetle by Martha Pichey

After a slew of failed relationships, Ashley seeks help from Animal Wisdom, a company that helps people learn relationship skills with unconventional animal/human pairings. Through hilarious pairings with beetles, octopi, and albatrosses, Ashley and other clients attempt to improve their intimacy issues and find lasting love.

Nora’s Salon South: “Françoise” is happening on June 26!

Thank you for your patience, everyone, as we worked to reschedule our salon reading of FRANCOISE. We have a new date and hope to see all of our Alabama folks there!

Nora’s Salon South: Françoise
Monday, June 26th at 7pm
in Cloverdale, Montgomery, AL
hosted by Caroline Reddick Lawson

Françoise Bollinger is eighty and ill. Confronted with her mortality, she is frightened to die with a terrible sin on her conscience. While grappling with her past to find forgiveness for her actions, she relives the summer of 1944 in Nice, France. Françoise remembers studying dance with one of Isadora Duncan’s protégées; falling in love with Christian, a young German soldier, sharing his passion for the poetry of Rilke and sharing her passion for dance. Now sixty years later, as she faces the end of her life, Françoise conjures up Christian, Isadora Duncan, and a younger version of herself, struggling to navigate between the two worlds of past and present. A compassionate doctor and troubled granddaughter are her only companions as she searches for the redemption she needs before dying.
